DOUBLE JEOPARDY: PRIOR CONVICTION OR ACQUITTAL OF RECKLESS IMPRUDENCE BARS SUBSEQUENT PROSECUTION FOR THE SAME QUASI-OFFENSE REGARDLESS OF ITS VARIOUS RESULTING ACTS:

     The doctrine that reckless imprudence under Article 365 is a single quasi-offense by itself and not merely a means to commit other crimes such that conviction or acquittal of such quasi-offense bars subsequent prosecution for the same quasi-offense, regardless of its various resulting acts.  (JASON IVLER y AGUILAR vs. HON. MARIA ROWENA MODESTO-SAN PEDRO, G.R. No. 172716, November 17, 2010, CARPIO, J.).
